Since that day over 30 years ago, I earned a BA Honours, a Masters degree, and a PhD from prestigious universities. Today, I am a respected professor at a Canadian university and a productive researcher.

How did I get here?

My mom didn’t listen to the principal, but believed in me instead. And I never gave up working towards the achievement of my dreams.

I have dedicated my career to improving the lives of young people. Having experienced adversity first hand, I have a very strong personal motivation to making sure that children are given what they deserve to grow into happy and healthy adults.
